Lindstedt/Groth Stun Bryan Brothers

Top teams continue to bow out in doubles at Roland Garros as third seeds Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan, and fourth seeds Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo, suffered surprising second-round upsets on Friday. The top four seeds have all been eliminated before the round of 16 and only five seeds remain in the draw.

Sam Groth and Robert Lindstedt handed the Bryan brothers their earliest exit since 2010 with a 7-6(4), 6-3 win. The Bryans, making their 19th consecutive appearance, had reached at least the quarter-finals for 14 of the past 15 years. Groth/Lindstedt will next play Fernando Verdasco and Nenad Zimonjic, who defeated Julian Knowle and Florian Mayer 6-2, 2-6, 6-2.

Fourth seeds Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo were defeated by Ryan Harrison and Michael Venus 6-4, 6-7(5), 6-3. Harrison/Venus won their first ATP World Tour doubles title together this past month in Estoril. Awaiting them in the round of 16 are Indian duo Purav Raja and Divij Sharan.
